My Story takes place in the Coral Sea on board a Ketch:

During my first afternoon at sea, the wind strengthened and we were able to head up the coast.

As the red sunset faded to a violet dusk and the spiteful east coast rocks passed, I went below deck.

Later that evening a strong wind sprung up and the sea became very rough and choppy. Storms were heading our way!

I put on my wet weather gear and returned to the upper deck. With saltwater spray hitting my face like icy needles, I clung to the handrail.

In the distance I could see a lighthouse and knew that our destination was in sight.

We maintained our speed and direction and headed towards the light and hopefully safety, in the harbour of Cooktown.
